And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because you used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie. I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say.

Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year? Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better.

And it's called Rocket. money. Rocket money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want any more, Rocket Money will help you cancel it. Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create custom budgets based on past spending.

Rocket money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features. I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. And I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing.

any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one I'd said it before, but I had a, I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got, I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies, you know, those weren't a little like the cue ball looking twin fellas. Yeah. So that was that response to?

What was that a reply gift for just when I did something stupid? Something fat and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.

Like, is that in your microphone or a... It's on my soundboard. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that is pretty sweet. Yeah, it's cool, huh? Yeah. I mean, it's stupid.

I don't know what my practical use would be. I guess if I was doing an audio drama where somebody was like testifying in a documentary, you know, it might be used for that. So, Drew ain't here. And we got, we're going through some. turmoil ain't the right word things are going to change around here because uh i mean i reckon i don't know why'd have any problem with us sharing the news it's going to be self-evidence soon enough anyway drew is moving away from los angeles which is where our studio is and we were just of the

opinion and in fact he's moving today uh Corey was out yesterday we'll get to that in a minute Drew uh can't can't record today and tomorrow is when we release episode so we couldn't wait for him but he's moving today and he's moving away from los angeles and we thought it would be weird and not hitting and dumb to have me sit in the studio alone with both corey andrew doing the zordan thing and i think we were all three in agreement on that which means we're now going back to the covid era style of the well-read podcast i.e it's going to be fully remote unless i have an unless i get an l-a-based comic to be a guest or something and then we can still have the studio available to us.

So that's the deal from here on out. My background and surroundings will change soon too. I'm still in the same studio I've had for the past six years or whatever, where we did our POA episodes and where I do skews and all that stuff. But this is the only part of my old house that I still use. I ride my bike over here every day to use this studio, and then ride back to my new house, which is where my new studio will be.

It's not ready yet, though. So a lot of changes. Nothing for me, though. I'm the same. I know, you just been hitting. Yeah. I've had an insane week plus. I felt bad for both of y'all.

Mostly not hitting stuff. And then Drew, too, is moving across the country and all this shit. And it's like, what's going on with you, Joe? He's like, I'm just, I'm at the master's drunk fucking rules. Dude, speaking of Drew. My life hit so hard. I was in hell in Georgia for three years, gained 10 pounds off just sassages and smithel.

And, you know, it's like, yeah. I was like, yeah, I spent the weekend going to two separate funerals. And it's like, yeah, well, I was killing them sausages. I'll tell you that much. I sure was. Just by the way, just so you know, had we not, and I talked to Thompson about this because I didn't want to ask you for funeral, you know, like situations because you were busy. I talked to Thompson because I was going to come up for the funeral.

It just happened to be the day we were heading back from hell. And so I'm sorry if I've seemed like in your face, look at these schnitzels. I felt very bad. Like, I knew obviously it would be insane of me. By the way, I haven't been sending these to just tray. Like it's been in our group message and that's different. It would be insane to me to be like, he should cancel his family vacation and his master's trip, which you've never been in the master's before, had you?

Yeah, twice actually. Oh, you have. I've still never been to like an actual playing round. I've only been to practice round. This was my first Monday. Wait a minute. So the, what's going on right now? They have the practice rounds on Monday and Tuesday.

Like of Masters Week, it's a whole thing. Like they have the practice round Monday and Tuesday. And then Wednesday, they have the par three contest, which is on a separate course, but still at Augusta. And then Thursday, the tournament starts. Now, I've always gone on Tuesdays, which hit for me. found out why Tuesday's better. It's because I went Monday this year. Well, a lot of the big names in the tournament played the Valspar championship this past weekend, meaning that they played on Sunday

and therefore they weren't at the Masters yet. But it was still a lot of fun. But speaking of the masters and Drew, because I'm going to say this while we, while we were talking about Drew moving and stuff, the dude I went with, whose name is Mike, he's a great guy. I'm actually going to talk to talk about the Masters more on putting on air specifically for Mike because he's a POA stand. But while we were there, I guess Mike, like we met through Putting on Air's podcast. He's a fan. And because of that, he's been dipping his toe into Well Red, which I appreciate. And so he's just kind of now getting caught up on like who Drew is, who Drew super hits for him.

He likes our whole thing. But the first thing he said to me when we got together, he goes, so Drew, um, I don't know how to say this, but does he get in a lot of fights? I was like, and so my first thought was like, oh, I know where this is coming from. And I said, are you referring to the couple times he almost got stabbed at the YMCA? And he goes, he almost got stabbed at the YMCA. And I was like, well, what do you mean? Like, what are you, what other fights are you talking about?

He's like, well, again, and I'm not trying to be mean because, dude, I love him. I love y'all. but like it just seems like at least in the episodes I've chosen to listen to listen to, there's just always some shit. Yeah. Like there's just always some shit. Like there's always some sort of animosity that seemingly is coming from another person to Drew. However, it happens so much.

Yeah. I feel like for the past few weeks now, I don't think he's had any. But I remember calling it out at one point, not that long ago, like two months or something like that. I was, I said something, I was like, you know, one of my favorite unplanned recurring segments that we've developed on this show is Drew's confrontation of the week or whatever, because for a while there, every single week he did, he had a new story about some shit he got into with some. I remember one time it was a pap hall in a Drader Joe's parking lot or whatever who started playing. He like made a pat a cry because the pet all thought he was going to fucking bait him to death or something like that. And Drew felt bad. And, yeah, it's, yeah, well, it definitely was always something.

But then it was a lady on a plane. There was something on a plane with a lady, which I can't remember. And then we're also, we don't know half the stuff because it's not reported of how many times someone has probably called him out for farting in their general direction on a plane. But anyways, that really, that really hit for me. But, yeah. So, all right. Man, I'm dumb. Yesterday was Monday.

I've been all frazzled lately. I was thinking, because I, again, I've been, you know, I've had not hitting shit going on. Were you thinking we were doing putting on airs right now? No. I thought that the Masters, even though yesterday was Monday, and I know that ain't how it works. You thought it was Sunday. Yeah, I thought you were at the, like, the final round of big day or whatever. And I was like, damn, he must be super pumped about that.

No, that would have been amazing. But no, I was just at the practice round, which is great because it's a little, bit more relaxed. You know what I mean? Like you can kind of, you can, I mean, you can be like right up in the players faces, you know, not in a rude way, but like they'll come over and shit. And yeah, it was really, it was really cool. Hey, by the way, uh, you might not want to do this, but I want to hear it again. Uh, will you tell the, will you tell the joke that you texted to the thread earlier, the salina boy joke? So the salina boy in question was Thompson. I was. Naturally. Yeah. The only reason I said salina boy in.

instead of Thompson is because I thought Mark is not as familiar with Thompson as you and Drew are. So, but yeah, Thompson told me a joke. And then I got a twist for you that I think will blow your mind when it comes to because it certainly blew mine. Okay. And the joke is, what's the difference between a buhull and a refrigerator? Yeah. And it's the fridge, don't fart when you pull the meat out. Which just classic, to me, classic redneck, he was.

Thompson is like a contractor and he works construction and does trim and these big fancy houses and stuff in Tennessee. And like, so he's on job sites a lot. So like, where do you think he heard that? Oh, wow. Well, I mean, first off, I have to consider the fact now that it's coming from Thompson. When you said Salina, I get why you said it now, but when you said Salina boy, I was like, it can't be Thompson. Otherwise, he would say that. So I was thinking it was coming from like Key or Kobe or like some dude that you,

Because I know that you went to a funeral this weekend and therefore saw a bunch of salina boys that you ain't seen a long time. So I'm like, it might be that sheep fucker he worked with on the side of the road. That guy was not a, that guy was a salina man, you know, a cow fucker, by the way, get it right. My bad. The motherfucker was like 70 in 2004 and had been fucking cows his whole life. He surely ain't still alive. Might be the secret to life, right? Yeah, I guess you're right.

You know, I mean. Mountain of youth up a cow's butt. Okay, but anyway. So anyways, I just assumed it was one of them. Where Thompson heard that from? Well, by the phrasing of your question, Trey, I know that it can't be Raven. You know, it can't be something I would expect. So I'm going to say, Bill now the science guy on a podcast.

So it's equally discordant, in my opinion. I was like, he said, he was like, yeah, when I heard that British what ladies' voice tell that joke, like it was wild or something like that. And I was like, he don't know who the British lady was. I'm just saying I've never, to me, and of course,

you got to consider the sort. He said that and I was like, dude, I would have bet everything I own that you heard that from a redneck at the job site. And he was like, well, a redneck at the job site showed me the video

of the British woman telling the joke. And so I was like, so he was like, that kind of counts. But like, I just, I don't know. It just seemed like the most redneck-ass joke you could imagine.

And then what's the polar opposite of a redneck is a British woman? Yeah. Like, I just, it just didn't, it caught me off guard. Me too, because, like, I actually didn't even ask him if he knew what the lady's name was. I should have asked him. I don't know if it's like a famous British comedian or just some woman. I don't know. This might be an example of, like, recency bias, considering, like, the way you set it up was a salina boy told me.

and then I heard it from you, but like, I feel like if I had just read that on a piece of paper, I would have immediately known that it came from a salina boy or something. Right. You know what I mean? Like that, because like that is like when you come down to redneck humor,

obviously it's, you know, let's not paint with too broad of a brush here. It can be, you know, as we prove, there can be nuanced to redneck humor. But most of the time,

it involves a pussy, a but hole and something stinking. Like that's, those are like the three, maybe a dog, you know. Dog. Yeah, these are, those are some tent poles or pillars of like all redneck old boy humor. And that's got it all, me. Well, and then there's a whole other genre that, you know, will not partake in. Right.

On this podcast at least. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's either dick, dick and butt stuff or it's just hardcore racism. I heard racist jokes. That's, that's the two main genres of redneck. humor, I feel. I heard one the other day. This is the opposite of redneck humor because it's blasphemous,

which really hit for me. I want to see if this joke hits for you as hard as it hit for me. Maybe you've heard it before. And this was an Easter joke, which is why I recently heard it. So Jesus is up on the cross, right? And he's sitting there dying, don't hit, crown of thorns, all that. And out in the group, there's all his disciples, Peter among them. And Jesus starts crying out, Peter, Peter, come hither, I need you. And so Peter's like, oh, my Lord, I must go to my Lord. Well, he runs up. The Roman guards get him and they're like, you can't be doing this.

And he tries to fight anyways. So they cut one of his arms off. And he's just sitting there half a stump, you know. And he gets back. And five minutes later, Jesus cries out, Peter, Peter, come hither, I need you. And he's just like, I don't care what I have to go through. I must get to my Lord. So he runs up.

Same exact thing. The Roman soldiers, like, I fucking told you, dude. They cut off his other arm. So now he's just. bottoms, you know, and he's back there. Jesus finally, one last time, Peter, Peter, Peter, come hither, I need you. And Peter's like, I don't give a shit if I have arms. They can take my feet. I must get to my Lord right now. He goes up, he tries to fight the Roman guards. The one Roman guard goes, you know what? Hell, what more can we do to the guy? Let him go talk to Jesus. So he goes up,

he's sweating, he's bleeding, he's on the verge of passing out. And he goes, Jesus, my Lord, what is it? And he goes, hey, Peter, I can see your house for. from up here. Isn't that great? Yeah, that hits for me. Yeah, it does hit for me. They said, I heard Patrice O'Neill say once that the hardest he had ever laughed at anything in his life was him and Rich Voss were standing outside the comedy cellar or something.

And there was some Asian guy who worked at some Asian restaurant in the neighborhood who, like, was carrying a big stack of boxes of presumably squids and stuff. I don't know. fucking chopsticks and octopus but like you know Asian restaurant supplies yeah big stack of boxes like leaned back like this you know like struggling with it walking down the sidewalk in front of comedy cellar and rich boss apparently was like hey excuse me hey and the guy like stopped he's like you got the time and the dude like and the dude was like fuck but he like you know like like tried to struggle to twist his arm to look at his watch or whatever and and and uh and that was it

That was the whole thing. But anyway, Patrice O'Neill said that was like the hardest he'd ever laughed because it's just, you know. Situational. Yeah, that's so funny. That reminds me of. That reminds me of that time when Don Rickles was eating with Frank Sinatra and like Frank's whole crew. And I think something had happened and Frank was pissed off about a contract or something. And Frank just loses it.

He's cussing in the restaurant. Mother fuck this, motherfucker that. And it's just going crazy. And everybody is terrified except Don Rickles is just sitting there patiently cutting up his steak. or whatever. And Frank Sinatra at one point throws a glass ketchup bottle against the wall. It shatters everywhere. And he keeps screaming, keep screaming. Everybody's scared. And it kind of quiets down. And Don Rickles looks up and go, hey, Frank, can you pass the ketchup? Yeah. My favorite Don Rickles, Frank Sinatra restaurant story, which I know you know is Don

Rickles went on a date with a lady. And Frank Sinatra was going to be at the same place or whatever. And he was like, hey, you know, she's a big fan. I don't make she really believes we're friends or whatever. It's like, you know, if you could just like stop by and say, hey, Don, what's going on? It would, you know, make me look like a hit in this woman's eyes. It would impress her or whatever. And Frank was like, sure, Don, anything for you, whatever. And so Rick was sitting there with the girl. And then Frank Sinatra walks out and he's like, hey, Donnie, how you doing? He's like, Jesus Christ, Frank, can you see him eating here? He's like, what the hell's wrong with you? It's so funny. So good. Oh, man. Man, man. I guess that that old boy joke got me missing just

jokes, like joke jokes. You know what I mean? Fucking dying, Bree. Yeah, speaking old boys, one thing that I had wanted to ask both the all about, but during here, but I had a realization this weekend that like, you know, so the two funerals I went to, one was by me, Ma Ma Maas, she was 85, she had dementia, you know, it was like, it was like, we did not know until it was happening that it was about to happen, but at the same time, it's not like it was some huge shock either. You know what I'm saying? Like, it wasn't like she had been. Thank you for that. really sets the mode yeah yeah yeah the other funeral i went to was a friend of mine who was only 41 years old and at that when i was thinking uh about how like i don't remember where i heard it but there's something about like there's like three different kinds of friends a person generally makes in their life and it's like there's they have real names and stuff for this is some kind of like social theory right i can't remember the actual terminology but it's basically like dude you grew up with, you know, like lifelong for like childhood friends.

Brothers, basically. And those are like, those are wild because I think we all know that a lot of times you get older and realize that like, some of those dudes, some of those dudes, if you met each other as adults, you would not hit for each other. But it don't matter. But you grew up together. So you boys. And it's a weird kind of thing. And then the other two groups are like, you know, friends.

make later in life and they fall into two categories, friends that you make for a while, like in passing, you know, like, you know, buddies I had in Knoxville that I haven't really talked to since I left or whatever. And it's like, it feels weird sometimes, but that shit just happens, you know. Yeah, you know, but. And then the third one is friends that you meet along the way who like stick around, who like, you know, stay for your friends forever or, you know, at least for a long, time. Like me? Yes, like you. Okay. And you were about to piss me off. No, of course like you.

And I'm saying, here's the realization I had. And I want to see, I want to ask if this is the same, is the same as true for you. Because I mean, it's not that it doesn't make sense, birds of a feather and all that, but it's not, it's never, yeah, zero. I'd never, never thought, I'd never explicitly thought about this way. But like, the ones you find that category from me, you're like, you drew, my buddy Charles, you know Charles, Jared, Seth, Bryce,

and, I mean, I guess that, and then, you know, DJ. Irvine, Irvine be a guy like that.

Okay, well, see, Irvine is, he's the only hole in my theory. Not a theory, the thing I noticed. Every single one of those other dudes,

oh, Mark, Mark, Mark, Matt, producer Matt. Mark, Matt, Matt, everyone I've named so far, except for Irvine, every one of those dudes is from a small ass town. Most of them in the South.

And then producer Matt's from fucking rural ass South Dakota, which definitely counts. Everybody else is from the rural South. They're not from like Nashville or, you know, Memphis or, you know, cities. None of them are from cities. And I'd never realize that before until. But Irvine, he's from a big affluent suburb of Colonial. Umas, Ohio. So he, I feel like he carries himself. Not like a person that, that fits that description though. And like Katie, you know, my wife is from, she's from a tiny ass town. It's like,

no, that makes sense. It does make sense. It makes sense we think about it. It's like, because, you know, you relate to each other. You understand what it's like anytime I meet somebody, especially now that I'm removed from the rural south, do you know what I mean? Like when I someone elsewhere who like meeting drew in knoxville or then you and finding out in both of your cases that you were from some tiny ass little town immediately i was like boom it made you hit for me more or whatever because i knew that we had like shared experiences and stuff but i just hadn't ever really thought about it until this weekend that like it's universally true across the board for me like every friend i've ever made that stuck you know like bryce too brys is from i think it's called rogersville or robertsville or something north carolina it's kind of and near Boone up in the mountains, but his actual hometown is fucking tiny. It's a nowhere place. And like, I went to Jared's hometown this weekend because it was his brother that died. All right.

Rest of peace, my buddy Jason, who was a wonderful dude. But they're from Camden, Tennessee, which I've never been there before. Never had any call to. It's over west of Nashville. And it's fucking, you know, middle of nowhere redneck ass town or whatever. And it's just. Now that you're saying you have like, what about your list? Well, while you were.

saying I was like trying because a lot of those are are firmly on my list you know and I was sitting here trying to think if I have any and I'm maybe I'm missing something but like I think about like Conrad fits into that category. There's no I have I have another exception. Okay. Two char. Two char. Two char. He's definitely one of my boys. But you know. Okay. Too sharp. Yeah. You're right. Huntsville is a bigger city. Yeah. But like but Conrad's not from Huntsville. Like he is from a smaller teeny. tiny town and he moved to Huntsville.

Same thing with Cassio. Like both like I was putting them in the third camp because of that reason because like, yeah, again, they live in Huntsville, but like one of the things we bond on is that they're not from there. They're from a teeny tiny shit fuck part of Alabama and moved there. And like, yeah, dude, across the board, it makes, I think that's true. Again, with a couple exceptions, but like those are kind of the exceptions that prove the rule in this case.

Like they stand out. because and yeah I mean I guess the logic makes perfect sense it's easier to relate to somebody in that sense but like that's yeah that's that's wild I never thought about that also I would argue that Tushar and I don't know he would feel about this but I would argue that like an Indian dude from Alabama even though it's Huntsville it's a city and not a tiny town but an Indian guy from Alabama is kind of equivalent to like you know a white guy from a small town in terms of being different from like, yes, he is, he is as much closer to me and my experience than like an Indian guy from New York. Yes, of course. And like a white guy who grew up in Nashville,

like, of course, or Franklin or something like that. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, for sure, dude. I don't know if that makes sense to people listening, but it might not to them, but makes sense in my head, though. It makes sense to me too, because we, we, we butt of butt. But like, but yeah, man, like, I think that's pretty well, 100% true for me. And also, no women. You know? Yeah. No. Well, dude, listen.

Oh, man, I don't know. She don't listen to this podcast. She probably mad at me for putting this out there. But, like, Katie is like, she's just insanely fucking jealous. And I find it to be kind of a small town thing or whatever. But I try to tell her, it's like, to Katie, you don't get me into some like Mike Pence type shit. You know what I mean? Where it's like he's not allowed to be in the same room as a woman without mother's permission or whatever.

It's like, you fucking drivet. shifting towards that territory like i what you need to fucking chill out but yeah i can't i can't have no woman friends she gets all fucking weird about yeah i haven't even i don't know that the thing is that used to not be true at all it's only when i started hitting right yeah yeah yeah like when i when i worked at the dolea i had there was doby talia casey i had a bunch of girl friends and katy you know loved them all and it was totally fine but now post hit for some reason she it's just she's always weird about it. Well, I was joking kind of because I actually do have several girl friends and ironically,

both from small towns. And there are people that I've met that were adjacent to the industry that we're in, which is how we met. And then like we became friends. But Amber don't, Amber don't get that way. It's either, and two of these both could be very true. It's either that Amber truly don't get that way or she pays so little attention to what I'm doing that it doesn't register with her that I am communicating because my thing is like and this

is a weird tick of mine maybe but like anytime I communicate with one of these women who are my friends I actually and I don't know if it's subconscious or not I make an effort to like point out to Amber like oh I just talk to so and so because in my brain I'm like there's a need for me to be transparent when I'm talking to a woman you know what I mean like because if I'd don't, it seems like I'm hiding something from her, even though it shouldn't matter. Do you know what? Do you get what I'm fucking saying? Uh, give me, give me a little bit of that again. Sorry, I thought somebody was pulling into my job. Oh, you're fine. But they were turning around, so I'm fine. You're fine. You're fine. I was saying that like, um, whenever I communicate with one of my

female friends, I usually immediately tell Amber that I'm doing it. But not in a like, just to let you know, I'm having it. It's just like, oh, look at what Aria said. You know what I mean? Like, I, I always do that because I feel like maybe subconsciously, I'm like, if I don't tell Amber that I'm talking to this girl, it seems like I'm hiding it from her, even though she wouldn't find, do you, it's fucked up. It's like a weird, I don't know. Yeah, no, I know. Yeah, it is, it is weird. But it's like, you know, fuck you going to do. Uh, so the rapture was supposed to happen yesterday and it didn't. That's disappointing. Well, either that or nobody went. Right. Yeah. that's a possibility. But I was thinking, you know, people don't know what we're talking about, you know, the solar eclipse.

Did you get to see like a total solar eclipse where you were at? Yep. We got to. And what's really cool is, I'm so jealous. In California, it didn't go total. It was,

and I didn't know that until it was happening. And I got so disappointed. I also got a really cool piece of master's memorabilia that will never be made again. And they only gave it out to people who were there Monday, was when you walked in, they gave you official master's eclipse glasses so that you could look at them, which I know that's not cool to most people, and they're probably 50 cents,

but like, it's pretty cool because like, you know, it's, this part of the world or whatever, we might not see it again in our lifetime or whatever the fuck. And the master's not going to be until 2044, I reckon.

And also like, I'll be dead. I don't know. I didn't know that. When everybody was talking about it, I thought the whole US was going to be privy to a total solar eclipse. I didn't know. I didn't know it was.

I didn't know. I didn't know it was just a little sliver of the U.S., which was basically the south and then up the eastern, eastern sea border or whatever. I didn't know that. Maybe that, hopefully the next one will be where I'm at, but if it's not, I'm probably going to take a trip to see it. Because I've never, never seen like a full blown eclipse before. And then if next time until 2044, I mean, that would probably be the last chance I get. I mean, I'm going to fucking 58. And if it's another 20-something years after that.

Yeah, dude. But it was actually a very, like, cool experience for a lot of reasons, because, Number one, like you already can't have cell phones when you're on the grounds at Augusta. So like the whole day I had been noticing and commenting on how like, look, it is kind of stressful because I have a kid and I really do like to get updates on how my son's doing throughout the day. However, it has been nice to walk around where everyone is totally paying attention to everything. Like people were moving quicker because nobody was staring down at their phone.

People were actually watching the golf because if you want to. wanted to take, like, I brought a DSLR camera in with me because I wanted to fucking take pictures, but like, you're not as quick to pick up that thing and start doing shit as you are with a phone. So, like, everyone's paying attention. Everybody's either watching golf or having, you know, respectable, volumed conversations with their friends. And then you add to the fact that at one moment, all of us were basically in complete silence and serenity with these glasses on looking up at the sun and the moon and it was just a very like I don't know it just felt like what humanity either maybe used to be or what I would like it to be it was pretty fucking sweet

you know yeah no that's that's super hits but a lot of people thought that the eclipse was you know the harbinger of the apocalypse like that the rapture was going to happen during this eclipse like Christians got that in their head not all Christians only the craziest of the Christians but apparently 80% I guess I mean I do wonder what percentage of them were I mean dude I saw I saw a clip of reel and IG reel of the eclipse just like video footage of the eclipse and I went to the comments and like a bunch of the top comments were from from Christians being like whatever talking all apocalypticly about the eclipse dude Instagram is so wild like is dude I don't want to get too diverted we can come back to that in a little bit but apparently the rapture like I guess who else Alex Jones discovered or this is what I read. I don't know how true this is, but he put it together that the eclipse, I said the total eclipse covered like a sliver of the U.S., not the whole U.S., which I didn't know until yesterday, but it only covers a sliver,

the places that could actually see a total eclipse. That sliver covered an area that included eight different, towns named Nineveh, Nineveh, Nineveh, which is a biblical. Right. And I, you know, I didn't know that.

I never heard of fucking Nineveh. But yeah, Nineveh is some biblical something. And there's nine towns in America named Nineveh. And they were all going to be privy to this total solar eclipse. And so that was some sort of prophecy or something. And I think that's where Jesus did the sermon on the Mount. I could be wrong. But I know Ninevehah is like a Bible thing.

Right. And so that's why the rapture is going to have. happen and of course no but i was thinking because america is very you know prevalent in the bible you know you would think yeah jesus the first american famous always said it uh but i was thinking i made one of my uh rant videos about the whole rapture thing not happening and i was thinking while putting that together like let's say no bullshit that like the rapture did happen and the version of it that happened was the one these people expected, meaning like, the most lunaticy Christian motherfuckers in this country are the ones who get raptured and the only ones.

Everyone else is stuck down here. How would you react to that after? I think if that really didn't happen in, we would freak the fuck out at first because holy shit, that's an insane thing. But once it's settled in, what do you think your, you know, takeaway or whatever would be? I've actually thought about this. I've thought about this for a long time because, and I know Drew's mentioned this a little bit,

like the, and I hate to just throw the word trauma around, but like the semi-religious trauma that I feel like I've experienced in my life and how much it was beat into me as a child really took a long time to get over, even after I was, I felt old enough and smart enough to realize, hey, this is some hocus, pocus, grims, fairy tale bullshit.

But when you've been conditioned, a certain way your whole life, it's still kind of in the back of your mind. So, like, I would every now and then get scared, like, what if they were right and what if I'm wrong? Because, like, I was just so close to it. You know what I mean? So because of that, every time somebody brings up the rapture, I was like, God damn, if that really happened, you know, like, what the fuck would I think. But my thing is, this is per my understanding of at least in the Southern Baptist faith, what happens during the rapture. And I'm going to lay that out for you so I can explain how I would feel about it. But I'll give you this hint. It would hit for me.

Right. Well, see, that's what I was thinking, too. That's what I landed on. I was like, even to, even knowing that that meant that those motherfuckers had been right, I still think it would ultimately hit for me. Yeah, because here's, here's why. So if the biblical rapture actually happens. Now, now, granted, in the Bible, it's not just like, oh, everyone disappears and everyone's left and we just go on a better day. There's also some like chaotic shit, which I mean, it's chaos induced by, can you, I mean, we all saw end game. You know what I mean? Like that's what that's what would happen? Society would be like, what the fuck is going on? And you'd have a large portion of the people who, according to the Bible and scholars and stuff, like they still wouldn't be convinced that's what it was. You know what I mean?

But me having grown up in that faith, if I saw it actually happen, I would go, my first thought would be like, okay, it is real. And therefore, so in the Bible, it's like the rapture happens. And then there are seven years of tribulation, right? where the Antichrist rules the world. Now, a lot of people always go like, well, yeah, he's already here. Joe Biden. Let me explain to all of you people who, the Christians, that think you know so much about

the Antichrist. The Antichrist will not have a 34% approval rating, okay? The point of the Antichrist is that he hits for everyone. He hits for everyone. And he fools people easily into, like, Tom Hanks is a way better candidate for the the Antichrist. Dolly Parton might be the best candidate for the Antichrist, except for the fact that it will absolutely not be a white fucking American, okay?

It's going to be some bitch from over there. All right. So, hell, Obama. Anyways, uh, so there's the seven years of tribulation in which God's people are called home, the Antichrist rules for seven years. And then after those seven years, the people who during those tribulations reluctantly gave their life to the Lord, because. because they realized they had been wrong,

the God and his army will come down to defeat the Antichrist and the devil, and those people have a second shot at it. So my point is, if I survive the rapture, I get to live seven years without all of those people, and then at the last second go, you know what, Jesus, you right, I was wrong,

and then I get to go to heaven. After a nice fucking seven-year vacation, it would rule. Now, here, this is classic me, because I'm so fucking Bible dumb. I never even thought about, all that other shit you just said yeah like in my head it was just they all go up there and we're all stuck down here i didn't think about antichrist tribulations revelations none of that shit

obviously that stuff wouldn't hit i mean no you know things you're getting kind of revelationy down here yeah with fucking climate change and that's why that's why some people think it's gonna happen yeah you know because like the signs are there before the rapture but that's why but they've been bro there there were people in 1600 saying the end times are coming. There were people in 1700 saying it. There will be people in 2,400 saying it. And I want to know at what point do these motherfuckers who are constantly making this insane claims, when do they get held accountable for how wrong they've been every time?

Also, by the way, the Lord says in the Bible that he will come like a thief in the night and no man will know the time, date, or place. So if you can predict the rapture, it definitely won't happen when you predict it. Well, here's the main thing that I was thinking about. And in my little like, you know, the YouTube videos are sponsored these days. Thanks to thank you to my sponsor. Which means the, there's, there are two parts. The first part of YouTube videos, the same thing I put on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and everything else.

And then there's a post script after the ad read that is only on YouTube. So in the YouTube video about the rapture, I started talking about all this and again didn't even bring up no anti-crust shit or nothing. But I was just thinking like, to me, you know how you said like you get seven years without those people. I talked about that and how that would hit for me. We could actually get some shit done, you know,

maybe without them around here gumming up the works. Housing crisis would be solved immediately. So much shit would be solved. I feel like if all those people just apparated. But also like the implications. Then you said you're like, I get seven years without those people. Then I could still go to heaven anyway. But I'm saying, to me, the implication of like Marjorie Taylor Green getting raptured and like her ilk getting raptured is that God's super don't hit.

Of course not. Heaven cannot be cool. Okay. There's no way that what they're doing up there hits or that he hits or anything. And conversely, I feel like the devil must have been a pretty all right dude or figures of shit. Or like, if God is down with Marjorie Taylor Green and the devil was like, this motherfucker don't hit. And like rebelled or whatever, then I think the devil might be a pretty rag guy. So I'm saying, I still think even if all that turned out to be real, you can make an argument that we're all right.

I'm not talking about the eternal damnation and hellfire. Because again, if they are right, then they're right. then they're right about, and they're right about all of it. Then after, when you go to hell, it's not like the devil, he might be like, all right and there might be cooler people down there, but like you're still getting bone sawed through the knee every day and butt-fucked by demons, you know what I mean? Yeah, but see, that could be propaganda.

Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but I'm saying that that's just, that's just what big God wants you to think. Like if God, again, dude, if God is like MAGA-E, Yeah. Look at what they think and say about us, about me and you. Like what Marjor and Taylor Green, she thinks we eat babies, bro. Like they think we're evil butt fucking baby killers, right? Like, that's what they think.

And that's what they tell people. And that's what they tell each other. And they believe, so, like, of course, God and them would say all that shit about the devil. You know what I'm saying? Like trying to trick people. Of course, they're going to say that hell don't hit, the devil don't hit, none of that. But if God fucks Marjorie Taylor Green, I, know he don't hit.

Right. So like, I'm saying, I don't think that's necessarily the case. It don't, you know. And now that you're saying this about how that might be propaganda, I'm actually sitting here thinking, like, you do know that you probably know this, even though you don't fuck with the Bible, because I'm certain it's been in a mega death song. But like, Satan was an angel, like one of one of God's, you know, supreme hitters up there. And I could be wrong.

I'm not going to look it up. But I'm pretty sure that the reason that. he got kicked out of heaven was for attempting to express free will. Like, you know what I mean? They're like, get this fucking guy out of here. He's trying to think for himself. So, yeah, if that, if God kicked him out for being a free thinker trying to express free will, then when he kicks him out, of course he's going to go on a smear campaign about how much this guy.

You said that like it was a bagel. He's working for Philadelphia cream cheese. You see the Philadelphia cream cheese? It's a smear campaign. It's a smear campaign. You know, you get a smear on a, yeah. I just think it's a hitner way to say. But anyways, like, yeah, you're right.

I guess, I guess so, like, I was operating under the assumption that, like, well, if the rapture happens, then that means they were right about all of it. But it doesn't mean that in that book, there couldn't have been lies in propaganda and mud thrown to make the devil look like he don't hit. So everyone would turn out to be like Marjorie Taylor Green. So no, I'm with you. Yeah. Now, I'm 100% with you. But I'll say this, you mentioned something earlier and I wanted to go back to it. Because you said, like, I know this isn't all Christians.

It's just the mega lunaticy ones of it. And I want to believe that too. And maybe something is shifted now. But a similar thing like this has, well, people have been calling for the rapture once a year, every year for the fucking beginning of time. But a similar thing like this happened in our lifetimes, Y2K, right? Y2K happened and I'm sure it was I know that you didn't grow up God but you still in a country town I know that you experienced that. Well, what's wild about that one? Yeah, I did. But my recollection of that because I didn't grow up God was that like there was there were I feel like there was a whole other element of Y2K that was secular in nature.

It was. I'm sure the religious people were interpreting it religiously. Yeah. And that's what you were exposed to. Yeah. But what the way I remember it was people were just like it. The economy's going to shut down. It's a technical apocalyptic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the system is going to crash and it's going to be pandemonium and all that. And then I'm sure the Bible people were like, yeah, well, that's when rapture happens or whatever. But yeah, I remember all that. I was fucking, I was 13 or whatever.

I was freaked out. I was worried. Me too, but I was, you're just going to explode. All the lights go out. I didn't fucking know. Well, I agree with you. And I was freaked out for that reason. Plus, still a little hanging on from the religious thing because, because, because,

it wasn't so all the people in you know in my church at least and the surrounding churches because my church is very similar to the surrounding churches and I talked to other people from the surrounding churches they were all convinced that it was going to be the rapture right but like my point is is that it wasn't a fringe thought it wasn't like it was the mainstream because like dude some of the people in my church were lunatics some of obviously some of the people are these like super fringy lunatics but I'm talking like very normal people, not tinfoil hat Christians, very normal Christians were convinced it was going to happen. So I don't necessarily buy the, I know it wasn't, I mean, of course it wasn't all of them,

but I think the percentages may be larger than you think because they were all. Now, by the way, they weren't freaking out though. No, I know, right. It'll hit for them. Yeah. I feel. Yeah, I talked about that too. That's so alarming to. Yeah. Like what I said, I was like knowing that these people like are thrilled at the prospect of the world ending. And then we're supposed to like work out a budget with them. Right. I mean like or like education policy and shit. Like of course it never works.

That's insane. It also makes sense to a lot of their, it really puts in a perspective a lot of their thoughts on like global warming and health care and all this stuff. Because they're not banking on living to old age. Like they're in their, like these 450 pound Christians are, like, why would I lose weight and work out and be healthy? Because God's coming back soon. And why would we care about the planet? Because God's coming back soon. And why would we put anything there? God's going to come back soon. We don't have to give a fuck what the

world's going to look like in 5,000 years. It won't be here in 5,000 years. And also, it's only been here for 6. Suck on that, you fuckers. Yeah. Yeah, baby. Hey, so you wanted to talk about Morgan Wallen? I know that. I mean, I, You know, I don't know much about it. I know that he got arrested for throwing a chair off a roof of a bar in Nashville, right? That's what I know. It was an Eric, me too. I thought maybe you knew more about it.

Well, I had a take on it. It was an Eric Church's bar, which is the chiefs. I had heard like there's a new chiefs bar opening in Nashville. And it could be, but I doubt it. In my brain, I thought that meant like, you know how you go to New York and there's like a Valls bar or a dog's bar? Yeah, but this is the bar where Bulldogs go to. I thought it was like that for the chief. so I didn't realize it was Eric Church in this whole big ordeal.

First of all, if there was ever a city that would be accommodating to entire other opposing fucking fan bases and shit, it would be Nashville for sure. But I've been to like a balls bar in Manhattan is fucking awesome. Which just means it hit for the owner. Typically, all that is is if you're in there when it's not game day, it's an Irish pub or whatever the hell it is. Yeah. Right. So I'm saying, and then on game day, they put up a bunch of on.

orange stuff and every ball fan in Manhattan comes to that same bar and it's like a known thing. So, you know, it's not like a branded. They wouldn't call it chiefs. Like there may be a chiefs bar where chiefs fans in Nashville go to watch the chiefs, but it wouldn't be called chiefs. I know that that's how those type of bars start, but like I guess the reason it just, and by the way, I didn't ruminate on this. Like I just saw Chiefs bar and I was just like, oh, whatever.

The reason it would semi make sense for them to actually do a branded one like that is because, A, the Chiefs are the most popular team in the NFL. Travis Kelsey is now a massive superstar and dating Taylor Swift who lives in Nashville and all this shit. So that's just what, I didn't even think about it. But then they said Eric Church, and I was like, oh, that's just, he's calling it Chiefs Bar.

But anyways, so Morgan Wall and yeah, apparently, I think it was an open night and he's up on top and he drunkenly throws a chair off the roof. Now, I couldn't read anything in there about if he was trying to hit someone, and I don't think he was because it landed next to two cops, and surely he wouldn't have tried to hit cops, you know what I mean? Because that fucks him on the base, big time. No, dude, that's just the thing people do for some reason.

Antonio Brown did that once and about killed a four-year-old. He didn't even, he didn't hit the four, the four-year-old was fine, but it was like six inches away from smush in a four-year-old. And that was just the beginning of his lunacy. But, yeah, I also heard kid rock through a guitar off the roof of a bar in Nashville, years ago and I heard apparently like the it was like you know they got all these locals and cover bands and stuff that played all those bars down there and it was some local musician guy just up there you know doing the bar thing passing the hat around or whatever but hitting

at one of these downtown bars you know everybody that plays in those places is pretty fucking good they have to be yeah right it's like how all food in manhattan is good because it's like if it's not get the fuck out but you know but they're not famous they don't have head outside of that. They're just really good musicians. It was one of those type dudes. He's playing at some bar. Kid Rock comes in and like sits in with him. And so it's like a cool moment ostensibly. But then at the end of it, kid rocks just like, well, hell yeah, and just takes the guy's guitar and throws it off the roof and explodes it and just leaves. Allegedly, I read that that happened. I don't know. But anyway, I don't know. People, it's a thing people do.

You always used to hear about rock bands throwing shit out of hotel windows and stuff. I've never had the urge to, that's not true. That's actually, I don't know, I've thrown stuff off of things. before but not since I was a teenager right well yeah me either you just reminded me in my new favorite joe walsh quote which was they asked him about AI replacing rock and roll music and he said yeah i'd like to see a i throw a TV out of a fucking hotel window yeah anyways but okay here was my half-brained take on it because uh i'm at a place in my life now meaning i'm you know about to be 37 years old i have a kid i'm a more mature person whatever that looks like for somebody who is the consummate toddler that I am.

I guess there was a time in my life where like that sort of behavior, I would have been like, fuck yeah, that's rock and roll, you know, whatever. Now I'm like, dude, you're 30. What the fuck are you doing? But at the same time, I'm like, you know what? People have been wanting outlaw country to come back. And that's what that shit looks like because you can't be mad at him for doing that. And then praise Johnny Paycheck for shooting a guy in the head at a fucking bar.

You know what I mean? That's true, but me and you, though, I mean, we watch Tales from the Tour of Us, like, together and all the, and I remember one of our main takes while watching, if you all don't know, it's a Mike Judge produced animated series that it's all these stories from the legends. One of the best shows ever. Old country music, and then the second season is funk artists, and it hits too, but the country one, of course, for being shows, just like top shelf shit. Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. But anyway, I remember we were watching that. We kept saying, we're like, dude, this is so funny and so entertaining or whatever. but also,

it is good that people are not like this anymore, because like this is fucking ridiculous. Like those dudes, they all hit real hard, musically and stuff, but they were fucking lunatics, dog. I agree with you.

Like you can't, you can't be like that. I agree with you. You know, an outlaw country, whatever you want to call or whatever, but it's just, I mean,

you know, I don't mean, I don't mean us, like, because I do feel that way, and I know that we, we feel that way. But I'm talking about like any of the people

who have been talking, like, because they're still, they're, dude, Morgan Wallen supremely hits for a lot of people. However, there is a great many of people who, maybe they listen to Morgan Wallen, but they still lament the fact that the outlaws aren't here anymore. And they will,

those people will probably be going like, this pussy, you know, throwing a temper tantrum and throwing a chair, you know, off a fucking roof. Wayland would never do that. Johnny Pay would never do that. It's like, would have done something worse.

Yeah, you're definitely right about that part. And also, like you already alluded to, those same people you're talking about, the fact that he almost hit a cop is totally going to make them be like, fucking looks like he don't back the blue. They got disrespectful this motherfucker. You got officers of the law trying to protect and serve right down there. He could have harmed one of them. They're just doing their job.

Like that type of bullshit. Whereas if Merle Haggard at one of his many union strikes that he was a part of, If back then he had a punch to cop who was trying to break up a protest, it would have hit for everybody. I know. It's a goddamn shame what's happened. The old rednecks of cops saying, you know, I've been saying it. I've been saying it for 10 damn years. And these people that we're talking about are examples of the first thing that you were talking about, the friends situation.

They're in that first group for me because I know a lot of these people and this type of behavior makes me want to fucking hate them, but I can't because we grew up together. You know what I mean? And I was thinking when you said that, like, when you described that and every time I think about that, because like sometimes I feel like super, super liberal, and I'm meaning this in the negative connotation, like liberals that are too far up their own ass for their own fucking good. It's like they can't comprehend loyalty to someone that you grew up with, like blind

loyalty or whatever. They just assume like, no, no, no. know as soon as someone who you grew up with and did all these things together, as soon as they disagree with one thing that doesn't fit our narrative, you have to cut them out of your life completely. Don't fucking answer the phone at 2 a.m. And I go back to the fucking ending of Justified. And when they say, why are you still friends with this person? I go, we dug coal together. Yeah, right. You know, like there's one of the best endings in television history. It might be the best. But you know what it's so simple and lands so hard. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

It's like, you know, recently we were having like a text and debate with some other, you know, friends of ours or whatever about Shane Gillis. And they were talking about how like Shane, and everybody loves his podcast. I'm sure it's fucking hilarious, but I haven't yet really listened to it much. But I'm sure it would have. Clips are great. But, um, right, and I think Shane's awesome. And also, I think that Shane gets a bad rap from those types of liberals you were talking about.

I do not think that he is. And actually, I think that's true for both sides. The hardcore right wingers who think that he is their champion, I think they're wrong about him too. Right. Everyone's wrong about him. Yeah, right. That's what I think.

Except for the people, except for the people who just believe that he's super fucking fun. Yeah. Yeah, but there's a lot of people like us. There are. We're just like, this guy's hilarious and that's all that they care about. But anyway, you know, I mean, you know, fuck, I'll just say it.

It was Mark. Mark started pulling all these articles and shit the way he do. And it was articles about how, you know, Shane Gillis, why Shane Gillis keep platforming fucking these conspiracy theorists and Holocaust deniers, stuff like that. And you read into it and it's like it's his co-host who is his best friend

in the world, right? And like it's his co-host brother, I think. And it's like, well, dude, I mean, you know, like I've got, again, I've got some friends and shit that I grew up with that any of our fans or listeners, whatever, would find them appalling. Oh, God. And their beliefs and the things they thanked

and the thing they say, yeah, wage a great example. It's like, but I, but, you know, what do you want me to say? And I know it's the same thing with, you know, with Gillis and that dude. It's just like, you know, they're boys. Now, look, I don't put these people on my podcast and that is different, but like, still, I'm saying, I'm not going to crucify a guy for that because I know what it's like. And a lot of those liberals you're talking about

with their heads up their asses, they're, it's a, they have the privilege of not having to ever confront that type of reality because they're from fucking Seattle or whatever. And they don't, they don't have that. They don't have that buddy since they were seven who now is a fucking lunatic or whatever you know they don't they don't have to worry about it's easy for them to say you know so i don't know no i i mean i hear you dude because like yeah i mean i think wait is a perfect example of like the the we dug coal together comes to my brain because

like me and that guy he was there for my formative years of comedy like when i started and like we had our ups and downs but he's a part of a time period that means so much to me and he was a large part of a time period that means so much to me. And like, I'm not saying he don't upset me sometimes with the things that he thinks, but I'm not going to say fuck him forever, you know, because like that's just not. And maybe we're coming from a place of privilege. Like, oh, it's so nice because you're white men, you don't have to give up on these people because they're not threatening to you. Maybe that's true. It's just, I don't know, man. Like, I'll tell you this. those people haven't stopped being friends with me,

even though they think I drink baby's blood. So that's what, dude, that's the thing that infuriates me the most is I have had some guys over the years. Well, me too. That have done that. Yeah, me too. Immediately we're like, you don't ever, like literally won't talk. Like, I show up to a party.

It's a guy I've known and drunk with and hung out with and shit for like, ever since I was a teenager. And he literally like won't look me in the eye, won't speak to me, won't shake my hand, of what won't do none of that. It's like, no, fuck you. You don't, and it, and it kills me because it's like, you didn't do that to him. Exactly.

It's like, you know how easy it would be for me to do that to y'all, but I don't, I don't do that. Right. And it's like, and I'm the snowflake. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm the overly sensitive snowflake. You're the one who's doing, who's responding this way just because I don't agree with you. Like, it fucking kills me.

But most of them have not, but I heard from a lot of my buddies who are like that this weekend, my grandma died and like, we still cool. and most of them were not like that. But I did have some guys who did do that, and that really, to this day, pisses me off. I did. I had several also, but not near as many as I thought. And that was like what really surprised me.

Because like when, when like a couple times, you know, when we first started hitting, which the reason mainly that it pissed me off, and I know this is the same for you, is that like they were acting like all the sudden something happened to me. Like I've turned into something. Same thing. And it's like, no, I mean,

me and Kirby were talking. on POA the other day putting on airs y'all should listen to it and i'm not i'm not sitting here propping up this as being a good premise or a good joke just the fact that i wrote it when i was 16 we were talking about santa claus and i was like yeah i had this bit i ended up stopping doing it because apparently everyone in the world also wrote it which was it was me talking about santa and how he's clearly a classist asshole because all the rich kids get shit and all and you know you wrote that when you were 16 because i had that bit in one of our christmas shows like five years and you didn't say shit.

You must not have been listening. I wasn't listening. Yeah. I did. Yes, I've also written that bit. But the difference is I wrote it as a 33-year-old 10-year vet and you wrote it at 16. Hold on. Now I'm sitting here thinking, is that, no, because I stopped doing it like a long time ago,

just maybe because I'd heard somebody else like bring it up. But now when you, I don't remember you ever saying that. But any fucking way, also yours was definitely a good bit that was fleshed out and stuff. When I did it at 16, I probably just laid out the premise and that was it. And turns out I wasn't making it work. And so I stopped doing it. But that's not the fucking point. The point is, is that that's where my brain was at 16.

And then, fast forward 10 years, we hit and everybody's acting like that ain't where my brain was. You know what I mean? Same exact thing for me. Yeah. It's like I've had so many, y'all knew I didn't fuck with the Lord. I didn't go to church. And I told you it was stupid. You knew I had a gay uncle and all this shit.

and I weren't racist and fucking all this other. Like I was always the fucking book reading queer or whatever. Always. Like, and y'all just used to kind of laugh it off. But, you know, but now for some reason, it's like an actual problem for some of these guys. And I don't understand that. So anyways, it did piss me off when a couple dudes early on were like, I'm never talking to this guy again. But then when they did that, I just genuinely assumed like, well, this is how all of them will be, you know.

And it wasn't the case. most of my friends who were friends of mine pre-hit are still my friends now. I'm certain that every now and then they talk shit about me behind their back, but guess what? I do the same to them, so glass houses, you know, but like, oh, where was I going with this? Oh, and as soon as I found that out that they are so repulsed by my belief system, but are still like, but we grew up together and we're friends, that was when I realized,

well, I'm not giving up on them either. You know what I mean? Like, I can't. I can't do that. We're about to get a lot of hate for what we just said. And I apologize, but what are you going to do? Do you think so?

I mean, you might be right. I do. And I do think some of it, I'm not so sure. But I genuinely do think some of it will be warranted. I'm not going to sit here and be like, if you disagree with these opinions,

you're just a fucking idiot. Because I do think that there is a little bit of privilege in what we're saying, in that like, it's not going to ever be dangerous for me to keep being friends with these people. And it's like, well, yeah, you can still be friends with these people because they're lunatic. beliefs as don't actually affect you as a white man.

You know what I mean? Listen. Well, I mean, their beliefs are still dangerous. But like, I agree. But if I, you know,

if one of these dudes we're talking about was like, beating up gay people or something like that, you know what I mean? Then like, well, I went to kindergarten with him. What are you going to do? Like,

I wouldn't, that is different. Of course it is. Thinking crazy shit that don't hit me like you know if i cut everybody on my life that thought some crazy regressive shit coming from where i'm from we wouldn't be doing this podcast i just have y'all left like that's it y'all and fucking you know you'd barely have us left comics yeah right you know because like every now and then one still slips through you just don't say it you text it to the fucking friend group and you put

l-o-l at the end so everyone knows you don't actually believe it it's just you doing a parody of what these people actually think even though the thought organically entered your mind meaning at some point you thought it ironic or not that's what you do that's what you do yeah yeah well listen y'all go to traycrouter dot com and uh check up coming tour date seattle and vancouver coming soon next weekend and after that bunch of other places pittsburgh buffalo all over all over the damn place florida you know shit go to traycratter dot com check it out come say me hit it show i would really also like to encourage everybody to check out our other podcast putting on airs i know many of you have but some of you have probably been like, I got too many podcasts on rotations.
